Nicole, was the name of the angry worker, who used his muscles to devise a two-step plan. The first step is to attack an immigrant settlement. Although Dulin and the state government have provided two residential communities for these immigrants, they are too far away from the mainstream industrial and commercial clusters. Most immigrants still live on the edges of various cities and find a place to live. Cheap land and then build simple shacks to live in so that they don't need to take a train across the city when they go to work.
The second step is to attack the factory where he worked before. He wants the manager to understand the consequences of deceiving him and throwing his human dignity to the ground. He wants all entrepreneurs and immigrants to know that in the West, the Follow the rules here.
After a simple to almost non-existent plot, more than twenty people armed with sticks and some hunting knives rushed towards an immigrant residential area. This residential area is on the edge of the city. Because immigrants do not like to enjoy themselves, they do not have any requirements for the quality of life. If they do, then as long as the living cost is the lowest, it will be fine. This results in a large number of immigrants living in the most remote, dirtiest, and messiest areas of a city.
And Nicole chose such a gathering place.
When they rushed into this place, they didn't find many people. Most of the immigrants who came to the empire from other areas were real laborers. The purpose of each of them coming to the empire, in addition to obtaining a residence permit, was to export labor. In fact, in the eyes of the imperial society, these immigrants are willing to lower their wages to work. Their wages are outrageously low. However, people have never understood what the low wages these people are receiving now mean to their hometowns. .
That is definitely a high salary, comparable to that of some white-collar workers, so they don't mind actively asking to lower their income to get a stable job.
There are not many people in most residential areas at this time. Most people are working. At least a few people are temporarily unemployed, or are sick, or have family members who still stay in simple homes.
When Nicole and his group rushed in, they didn't find many people. They came with a kind of hatred and determination, but they didn't expect to rush in. After beating several young people, everyone was no longer angry. Vent it out, and then one of them suggests burning this shit house down. This suggestion was well received by others. The houses here are all made of wooden structures, and there are also some discarded boards made of other materials such as industrial waste, which are very easy to catch fire.
They got some torches and lit the first house, then the second, and finally almost the entire residential area of shacks ablaze. They laughed in the face of the monstrous flames, venting their anger and injustice and feeling that their lives had reached a climax. But somewhere they didn't notice, some immigrants with red eyes were quietly approaching them.
The battle then started, which also ended the second step of Nicole's plan before it could be implemented.
It is not easy for these immigrants to have a temporary home in the empire, many of whom are former slaves. Perhaps this place is just a garbage dump for Nicole and others, but here For immigrants, it was their hard-won home in the Empire. They endured the discriminatory looks of some people in the empire's society, and silently endured some unfair treatment, but there was a reason for all this, because they had a dream to be rooted in the empire and to have a home here. , even if it’s just a simple house.
People who have not experienced these things will never understand that warmth may be cheap, but it can make people survive the cold winter. Now their home that sheltered them from the wind and snow was burned down by a group of inexplicable thugs, and all their savings were destroyed. Burned out, the deep despair makes these people unwilling to remain silent, they have to do what they should do.
In addition to some people staying here, some people ran to nearby factories to notify the migrant workers. More and more people came over with sticks and other things, and Nicole and others were also surrounded by a group of people. He was beaten so violently that he couldn't even find a place to run.
Originally they were here to vent negative emotions, but unexpectedly they ended up becoming a way to vent.
When the immigrants stopped because they were tired, the color on their faces changed.
Dead people!
Being surrounded by a group of angry workers will never end well. These people are doing the hardest and heaviest work at the lowest wages in the West. Even if they were not very strong before, this year is enough for them to become strong. . In a group fight, no one will care whether the person who is shouting that he is dying is really going to die. They will only instinctively make those who are still moving and can still speak and curse unable to move or open their mouths. . Once the factors of bloodthirsty violence are released, it is difficult to contain them again.
In the open space among the crowd, there were more than a dozen people lying in random directions. Seven of them were not breathing and had lost their heartbeats.
The matter was quickly reported to the regional police station. After the police dispatched the police, they also realized the seriousness of the problem. On the one hand, they took all participants back to the police station. On the other hand, they notified the workers' union, the city hall and State Government.
This is a very dangerous case. If it is not handled well, it can easily lead to a series of social problems. All the people in charge have become worried. In the end, Du Lin also learned about this matter.
"problem occurs… "
When Du Fu said these words in Du Lin's ear, Du Lin was chatting with several guests. He made a splash on the night of the princess's birthday party. The princess said "the best gift" to Du Lin. Became the well-deserved protagonist of the birthday party. Coupled with his quick wit and charisma, as well as his willingness to abide by the rules and join the game, the aristocratic community easily accepted him.
This is like a ridiculous and funny stage play. This circle used to be very defensive about Dulin. Even if he made many changes and breakthroughs, people could not accept his existence. But at this moment, these people took the initiative to include him in this circle because he began to abide by the rules of the game. To be honest, Du Lin himself was surprised. He thought it would take a long time for the nobles to accept this fact, but the fact was that the nobles came to visit him the next day, which gave him an indescribable feeling.
Du Lin apologized with a smile, stood up and walked to the second floor. Du Fu whispered to him in detail what happened in the west.
In fact, no one expected that things would develop to this point. A group of workers who had lost their jobs because of immigrant workers and were unwilling to accept settlement by the workers' union decided to cause trouble. They attacked a residential area for foreign immigrants in the city. Westerners have always been very arrogant in their own territory, and at the same time, these immigrants usually behave submissively and very humblely. Even if they spit on them or yell at them on the roadside, not only will they not stop to argue, but they will lower their heads and leave quickly. This also makes many people think that these immigrants are very timid and are just a bunch of chickens. , even if you slap them, they won't say anything.
But this group of immigrants broke out at this time. They killed seven locals. I don't know who revealed the matter, which has caused some problems. The workers' union sent a team of lawyers to prosecute all immigrants who participated in the fight and incited public opinion to demand the harshest punishment. On the other hand, some immigrants who have done well, such as Amon, have also spent a lot of money to hire some lawyers to defend those immigrants. This matter developed rapidly in a very short period of time. It was no longer a conflict between two groups of people, but became a conflict between two groups in society.
Many people are paying attention to this matter and are eager to know the final outcome of the matter.
If the final trial favors the locals - after all, they burned down the immigrants' houses beforehand, the surviving participants will no longer dare to hide anything when faced with such serious consequences, and will directly say everything that should be said and should not be said. It came out, including that they were venting their anger to seek revenge, setting fire to other people's houses first, and so on. This puts them in a passive position. Many of the general public are illiterate and do not understand the law. They only know what is right and what is wrong and do not need any profound reasons.
If the judge gives a judgment that favors the locals in order to protect the locals, this will cause uneasiness and panic among the immigrant groups, and will also have a negative effect on the empire's immigration policy, and may increase the chance of similar phenomena happening. This is tantamount to telling everyone that immigrants are second-class citizens and it is not illegal to beat them, encouraging people to commit crimes.
But if the result favors the immigrants, there will also be a lot of trouble. After all, the group only burned the house and caused no personal harm. They could have gone to the police, but they chose the worst way to retaliate and went back, and caused A disastrous outcome with seven deaths. Once they win in court, it will inevitably further intensify the conflicts and differences between the two groups and even evolve into more vicious cases. After all, this is the west.
Now many problems have not been resolved. Some workers spontaneously started to demonstrate, and immigrants also started to demonstrate. It was a riot. The state government hoped that Dulin would intervene in the matter.
Isn't he running for governor? Great, now he can experience the working atmosphere of a governor. This is what he should do to benefit the west!
Dulin sat in the study and lit a cigarette. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed Henry's number.
This unlucky guy still lives in the west. Of course, he is actually living a good life now. In addition to having a lot of bodyguards around him to prevent the Tushen Cult from retaliating against him, both his father and his eldest brother are... Start paying attention to this brother.
If Dulin can become governor, then Henry's status in the family will be even higher. He also understands why he is now valued by the family, and increasingly feels that holding Dulin's thigh is the most correct thing in his life. s Choice!
